Thump! Everyone shuddered. What did Philip mean by that? Was he going to openly compete with the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island? “Presumptuous! Young Master Clarke is the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island. Who do you think you are? Don’t think you’re a big deal just because your last name is Clarke as well! In this world, only the Clarke family on Arcadia Island stands above the rest!” Mr. Chavez said angrily and spared no effort to suppress Philip. Following that, he turned his head to the sullen Kelsey and said, “Young Master Clarke, this guy is too arrogant. I suggest you teach him a lesson so that he understands your strength and means.” Kelsey’s heart choked with burning anger. He wanted to, but did he dare to do so? Smack! Kelsey slapped Mr. Chavez’s face and scolded him, “Nonsense! If I could do it, would I need you to teach me?” Mr. Chavez was baffled by Kelsey’s slap. He looked at him in confusion and asked
Everyone looked for the voice and saw an old man with a walking cane in a gray suit walking in from the door. The old man had gray hair at his temples. Although old, he was full of vigor! The aura radiating from the man made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grow tense! Even from a few meters away, one could feel the man’s dormant aura that was as vast as an ocean! Behind him were four bodyguards in suits guarding him closely. At first glance, these four guards were not ordinary people but highly skilled elites. It was because their every move and their eyes conveyed a chilling and alarming intent! At one glance, Philip could sense that the power of these people was no less than the disciples of the Jensen family and not at all inferior to the Dragon Warriors! This old man was a formidable character! At the same time, everyone else was also full of doubts. They did not know the old man in front of them at all. However, Wilbur stepped forward, bowed respectfully to
“Old man, how dare you let your guard hit me? I won’t let this matter go. I’ll definitely tell my father to destroy your Le Reverie!” Kelsey whimpered and slurred. He was very angry, furious even! He had never been beaten before in his life! Of course, apart from being taught a lesson by Philip previously, this was his second time! He was the young master of the branch Clarke family. This old man Gilson dared to hit him and was not putting the branch Clarke family in his eyes at all! However... Pearce sneered and said, “Hehe, even if your father Christian Clarke were standing here, he would only say that I’ve done the right thing by hitting you.” This sentence shocked everyone in the side hall! For Pearce to say this, it went to show that he was not simple at all. Philip also gave Pearce a sideways glance. It seemed that this old man was not easy to deal with. Even the branch Clarke family did not mean anything to him. When Kelsey heard this, he immediately explod
At that moment, the entire crowd in the side hall was flabbergasted! All of them stared at the bemused Philip in horror! Philip quickly said to Pearce at this time, “Old sir, you don’t have to be so polite. Since you were the Clarke family’s teacher, I’m your junior.” Pearce nodded with a smile and commented, “Sure enough, a true diamond can only be found in the rough. Young Master Clarke, you’re a man of great talent. With an heir like you, the Clarke family can surely persevere for generations to come.” Hearing these words, the others who were still in shock quickly greeted Philip, “Young Master Clarke!” Mr. Chavez from earlier completely lost his composure at this moment. He quickly ran to Philip and said, “I’m sorry, Young Master Clarke. I was too ignorant just now. If I’ve offended you in any way, I hope you can be generous and overlook my recklessness.” With that said, Mr. Chavez bowed with a humble attitude. Philip simply glanced at him and said, “Mr. Chavez, there
Speaking of this, Pearce suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Philip. He said solemnly, “I implore you, Young Master Clarke, to help the Gilson family.” At this scene, Philip quickly held Pearce and said, “Old sir, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Let’s have a good talk.” Pearce refused to get up and said, “Young Master Clarke, I wasn’t sure about this matter at first, but after seeing you today, I know that only you can save the Gilson family. As long as you promise to save the Gilson family, I’ll definitely repay you no matter what I have to do!” Philip was anxious. He quickly signaled Wilbur to pull Pearce up and said, “Old sir, you don’t have to do this. If you have any requests, I’ll oblige. Besides, this is the condition I have offered in exchange for this key. If you have any request, you can say so directly and I’ll certainly do my best to help.” Only then did Pearce stand up and say to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, the Gilson family is in deep trouble. My daughter, T
Philip frowned slightly, looked at the luxury car next to the old man, and said to Victor Bell beside him, “You can go back first.” Victor nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Master Clarke.” After saying that, Philip directly got into the car. Soon, the car brought Philip to a café. Philip followed the old man and came to the innermost room. The decoration was simple and rustic. Sheryl sat in the middle of the room, making coffee. She had removed her coat, revealing her graceful figure. She blended beautifully into the surroundings. As expected of a daughter of an affluent family, her every move and smile carried a sense of elegance. Her art of brewing coffee was quite pleasing to the eye. Philip came in through the door, applauded, and said with a laugh, “Miss Larson, you really know how to enjoy the finer things in life. Your brewing skills are superb.” Sheryl smiled delicately. With a slender jade-like hand, she pushed a cup of coffee in front of Philip who had already
“Why are you telling me this? The Clarke family is still the Clarke family. With my father and me around, the Clarke family will not fall,” Philip said flatly. He wanted to figure out Sheryl’s purpose in looking for him tonight. Was it merely to reminisce about the past? Impossible! He had seen Sheryl’s methods when he was a child. She may look weak on the surface but her heart was full of schemes. There were rumors that Sheryl Larson was a candidate to be the future head of the Larson family. That was right. A female candidate as the head of the Larson family in Fernvale would definitely cause a worldwide sensation! Sheryl turned around, looked at Philip seriously, and said, “Philip, don't you want to find the people behind the scenes? Don't you want to find out the truth about your mother's accident back then?” At the mention of his mother, Philip’s expression turned cold. He stared at Sheryl with scorching eyes and asked coldly, “Do you know something about my mo
Hearing this, Philip, who just stood up, abruptly turned around. He stared at Sheryl grimly, an invincible aura suddenly erupting from his body. He asked solemnly, “Are you threatening me?” “No, I'm making a deal with you. A deal between the Larson family and the future head of the Clarke family.” Sheryl had a faint smile on her face as if she was not at all afraid of the monstrous chill that was surging through Philip's body at this moment. After a while, Philip retracted his intense aura. He stared at Sheryl darkly and said, “What kind of deal do you want to make?” Sheryl smiled gently like the sunshine in March. She stretched out her slender hand and said, “Please have a seat.” Philip waved his hand and said, “No need, I’m in a hurry. Let’s listen to your deal.” Sheryl smiled sweetly and said, “I can give you your sister’s news in Country M in exchange for you replacing the Larson family to go to Nonagon.” After saying this, Sheryl sat there quietly, waiting for Philip
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
“What the hell did you do? Give Philip back. Stop messing around!” Aslan threatened the stone man. Aslan knew that the stone man must have taken Philip to a dangerous place. Philip must have been taken into a barrier or an unknown and terrifying place. Anyway, the stone man must be up to no good! The stone man calmly ignored them. “I’m your only opponent. I don't know how many stone people there are in the outside world, but as far as I know, I’m the only stone man in this world. “Since Philip is that powerful, I’ll give him six hours. If he can leave my secret realm, I’ll let you go. If not, be prepared to die.” After saying that, the stone man laughed wickedly and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. No one knew where he had gone, and no one knew what was going on. The people of the major races summoned their people in a panic. No matter what, they had to find the way out. “Hurry up and find an exit. We can't put all our hope
“Let’s walk ahead. I believe this is an illusion created by the stone man to confuse us. As long as we stay calm, he can’t do anything to us,” Philip said calmly as if he knew what was going on. He and Rabbit walked forward and soon saw a huge oasis in front of them. Rabbit was delighted to see the oasis because that meant there was still hope for them. Although the desert environment was harsh, they should be able to bump into some indigenous people and figure out what was going on. “Philip, are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see an oasis ahead of us. This is great. In that case, we can find a way out!” Rabbit knew that Philip had been looking for a way out but to no avail. Something had to be preventing him from doing it. They might have to pass a test before they could leave. In that case, they had to figure out the secret. Philip glanced at the oasis in front of him and relaxed a little. At least, he could tell that it was not a mirage. They excitedly ran to the oasi
The black shadow was not bothered about revealing its identity because it liked being a stone man. “The stone people have strong minds and a firm resolve. They're never as disgusting and selfish as humans. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to develop. I found a fragmented scroll that recorded some techniques for development. Among them is a technique most suitable for the stone people to become stronger through a sacrificial ritual.” The stone man seemed very earnest as he explained the details, but he was, in fact, using this time to solidify his body until he was finally complete. “Haha, everything is over once I get rid of you!” the stone man laughed. His figure shook, and clouds of black energy formed again. However, the black energy was only aimed at Philip. In his opinion, the others would die once he got rid of Philip. Philip was surrounded by black energy before he could react. In a split second, he could not see anything around him. Seeing this, Rabbit rushe
Before this, these people kept insulting Philip and wished they could tear him into pieces. They even thought it was unlucky to see him here. Surprisingly, events took a sudden turn, and Philip became their savior instead. “Enough with the crap.” Philip did not want to respond to their gratitude. He just wished they could get the fight over and done with so that they could leave. “By the way, I'm curious about something.” As the fight reached the boiling point, Philip turned to the black shadow curiously. The black shadow was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. “What are you curious about?” The black shadow wanted to buy some time. It was just a step away from forming a solid entity, which could improve its strength significantly. Philip would have to think twice about dealing with it by then. Thus, the black shadow was excited that Philip wanted to chat with it. “How did you make that mysterious old man convey the news?” According to most people, they found out about
The black shadow gained strength by devouring other people’s flesh and blood. Philip knew that he might be no match for the black shadow once it devoured everyone present. After going through all the trouble, it would not let all its efforts go to waste. Philip's appearance had ruined its plan. It would probably go crazy if it could not devour these people. “No one can stop me today. So what if you’re strong? I don't believe you can save everyone!” After saying this, the black energy rushed to the merfolk. The merfolk ran to Philip in a panic, hoping that Philip could protect them. “Lyle,” Philip said. Philip was exasperated by these stupid merfolk. Lyle rushed forward and attacked the black energy. Back then, Philip had given them sachets to ward off evil energy. Lyle had a sudden idea and hurled a sachet at the black shadow. It was just an experiment, but it worked. After sensing the powder in Philip's sachet, the black energy shrank back and stopped moving as if it h
